Suns out but everyone’s still in black…London fields inspiring angst and misery.
Great Sheer trackies/smar shoes combo.
...oh boy. Right for so many reasons.
high pony, long skirt, short socks - winner.
We were told "on my way home from a party, I tried to bring a tramp, he just wanted a bit of company". Looks hot in our sunnies, should have bought some for the tramp too.
Wearing Cheap Monday V fit which they don't make any more, bring back!!
Last Saturday we started a new market linked with our studio building. Generally we’re a bit allergic to the word market as we feel it de-values designers(luckily it didn’t in our case) but could think of worse things to do than sit in the sunshine with my mates drinking beers and having a laugh with the locals and taking pictures of cool people. Fashion reports to follow – fun reports below.

Charlie Baker n his missus. Loving his double glasses action.
We’ll be doing this market every Saturday from now on so if there’s something you fancy from the website or just wanna come down, meet us and hang out in the sunshine, drop by say hi. If nothing else do it for the Mojitos, the treehouse and the East LDN eye candy.
As some of you know, bitchingandjunkfood.com is no longer headed-up by just me Marion, it’s now Kath too. Kath and I were both doing the own labels and increasingly crossing over so it made sense to join forces and build BITCHY together.
MAX VOLUME PLEASE…
Two Weeks label came about this AW10 in order to represent both our design aesthetics, my background in jewellery/accessories and Kath’s in clothing design. We’re loving menswear just as much as womens and both our own styles are kind of sporty(occasionally slutty but our remade label serves that purpose well) so we decided to do a Unisex collection – we also just wanted a pair of tracksuit bottoms we could throw on and still look cool(guess it’s a bit lifestyle).
We’ve been invited back to do an AW collection for Urban Outfitters and our meeting is today. I was just going through my inspiration pictures and found this one. According to BITCHY Kath, it’s “everything in my mind”. Human Hair, studs, sunglasses, black – what exactly this says about my mind I’m not sure but I love this picture. I don’t think our next range for Urban will be as dark at this but some inspiration might make its way into BITCHY.
Right, been a while since we’ve been blogging – something to do with our involvement in last night’s installation in Future Gallery for the launch of LIVE magazine, our Urban Outfitters collaboration delivering this week, our Mates Rates shopping evening and our prep for the Clothes Show Live. Not much going on then. We thought this was pretty blog-worthy though and if we weren’t furiously sewing we’d be making our own banners to project.
